They probably don't even believe what they're saying. Folks like Jim Hoft are just in it for the grift. The idea is to muddy the waters for conservative voters, to keep them in the religious faith of conservatism.
If they examine conservatism too closely (like Christians who read the Bible end-to-end), a bunch will leave the faith.
I have avoided posts on Elijah Cummings death because the whole subject just makes me sad. I wonder, however cautiously though, if the trumpster fire has acknowledged or said anything about it. Then, maybe I think I don't really want to know what he might have said, so perhaps I shouldn't look.
Thank you Stephen. Dammit, it's been hours since the cleaning folks were here but the air is all dusty again for some reason.
When we die...look, honestly I don't really know what happens when we die. Got ideas, beliefs informed by my faith, but no actual proof or certainty about any of it. I'm entirely open to the possibility of being wrong about what happens next. Heaven, Hell, reincarnation, nothing at all, y'got me. I choose to believe in an eternal Heaven for people like Elijah Cummings, and an eternal Hell for trump, because that sort of equanimity seems right and just, and that it should be so helps keep me sane.
But really though if I'm going to look for any form of permanence beyond death, I'm going to look to the mark someone left on the world and especially the people in it. Let those waves ripple out, let the people one person's affected make their own waves drawing upon the influence of the departed, and there's the true measure of eternal life. If that be the case, then the Honorable Representative Cummings will be dancing and singing with the angels no less and no shorter a time than if Heaven is for real.
I feel unworthy in comparing myself to the lion of true justice, Rep. Cummings. And, yet, I also believe he, himself, would not look upon me as unworthy. Therein was his immense power; compassion and forgiveness for those who seemed unworthy and fiercely working to protect those who are disenfranchised. It's my fervent hope that we all move forward in honoring his legacy, while deeply missing the righteous warrior we've lost.
I'll think of this remark when I next speak to a Republican. Now I know what they're really made of
It took this long?
You know the welcome gate angels were like "Please have this nice chair, sir. What else would you like?"

I can do two things at the same time, thank you very much
Running Covert Propaganda Against Americans Is Illegal
*picks up F.Supp. and Kleenex box*
I think this is the best thing I've read today

I figure emulating Cummings or Ginsburg, this is probably a bit beyond contemporary AI.
Dude. Nothing beats a failure but a try.
BECAUSE HE'S A *RACIST*.
Y'all are going to really have to wrap your minds around this, seriously.
IT'S NOT FAIR
NOT FAIR
NOT FAIR
But I've been yelling that ever since I learned he got sick

All of this.
Here is the felony Mulvaney was either too arrogant, too lazy, or too stupid to know he was confessing to. I've been handing the piece out.

You misspelled "hammering."
For a long time, he walked the walk and talked the talk that you couldn't help but listen to.
Rep. Cummings did more for the American people on his deathbed than Mitch McConnell's Senate has done all year.
